KB46418: How to create multiple report caches simultaneously using an "Update cache" subscription in MicroStrategy 9.x and newer

INTRODUCTION
There are cases when a user may want to create a report cache without manually executing the report against the data warehouse.  An example would be when the user needs to create many report caches, and creating the caches by manually running each report consecutively would consume a great deal of time.  The steps below can be used to create multiple report caches at one time, without having to manually run each report.  This can be done by creating an "Update cache" subscription.  When no cache exists for a report, subscribing a recipient to a "Cache update" subscription and running the subscription will create a new cache for the report in question.
 
Steps to create caches using an "Update cache" subscription:

• Browse to Administration -> Configuration Managers -> Subscriptions.  Right click in the window and open the Subscription Creation Wizard.
• Choose the relevant project and choose "Cache Update" as the delivery type:
  

• Choose the reports that caches will be created for.  This is done by subscribing recipients to the reports:
  

• Choose a schedule and a recipient for the subscription.  Check the option to run the subscription immediately:
  

• Complete the creation of the subscription.  The default settings can be used for the Advanced properties:
  

• Click "Next" and then click "Finish"

 
The caches will be created.  To confirm that the caches have been created browse to Administration -> System monitors -> Caches -> Reports to see the newly created caches.
